Very good posting Klinger, attitudes like yours are sorely missed at CX, you must be a real asset to your company.
I noted that shortly deliberately misquoted and exaggerated GDOP using words like "all" or "no". Attempts like these to silence critical voices by cynically pointing out that "failures invariably blame the system" do nothing but display the other extreme of this discussion. It is blatantly obvious from shortlys previous posts that he NEVER finds fault with this particular "system", it would be interesting to know why he is constantly trying to justify the status quo.
Shortly, noone here disputes that high standards are desirable in any public transport operation. This discussion is about the atmosphere and staff policy regarding this particular company. If you are saying that one necessitates the other, then please accept that there are types out there that bring their best in an environment of trust, support and co-operation.
